I love Golden Birthdays! If you are not familiar with the term, it is when you turn an age the same number as your birth date. I had mine on my 22nd b'day because I was born on the 22nd. Aunt Sally had hers last week, so we decided to road trip to Birmingham to help her celebrate! Here are some great things about B'ham:
1. Turkoyz - This is my favorite jewelry shop ever! It is located in Brookwood Mall and has simple, but unique pieces for everyday wear. It is always a hard choice to decide what to get because I usually want about 15 different things. Here are the cool bird earrings I picked up!
2. Birmingham Botanical Gardens - I cannot believe this was the 1st time I was able to go here! Sally talks about this spot often, but I had no idea it was awesome! We went on the most gorgeous day ever, which probably helped a lot - but I think this place would be amazing any day. They have several different natural terrians, lots of places to throw out a blanket, paths to stroll or run, a vegetable & herb garden, indoor jungle and desert rooms, and it was free. I ran out of my favorite type of journal this week and was able to pick up a flowery patterned set at their gift shop - bonus! Fantastic place.
3. Ousler's Sandwiches - We had an amazing box lunch at Sally's birthday party at her work. I wanted a second one. This place makes chicken salad sandwiches on white bread and deviled eggs that were fab. Perfect for an antique store golden birthday party.
4. Aunt Sally - She's our favorite part of Birmingham! We can't wait to go back and visit her again!
